Strangely enough Baboon Bro I did tell him that that was the one which I would personally take on to the desert island. Sticky Fingers if I were not allowed a double LP/CD!

Thanks Paulywaul for the super pictures and report. It is so satisfying to see how the band have impressed a new generation and look on course to have ironed out any glitches early doors of the tour. Here's looking 4ward to the rest of the concerts. BTW a colleague of mine at work told me today how his 21 year old son went to the IOW and was so impressed by the Stones. He asks for m

I agree Gazza but don't you think it's so frustrating that it takes a plane crash or a suicide or a drugs overdose for an artist/band to be appreciated for their excellent work? Buddy Holly/Eddie Cochran/Jimmi/Doors/Freddie/Kurt etc. etc.

Just watched her video and it's so bland, packaged and quite frankly boring. Keith's version on Four Flicks has so much soul and feeling and has given me such a lift after everything that has been spoken about this week. Make em have it Keef at the IOW!!!

I've often wondered why the Stones marketing branch have never really taken advantage of the opportunities to tap into ideas such as Macca and Starbucks? This would have opened up greater avenues to be heard by a much wider audiance.

I suppose we have all had a few days to reflect on what we have witnessed. Some have been to the opening night and said - it was awesome! Some have been to the opening night and said - it was poor by their standards Some of us have focussed on what has been said and what we have seen on Youtube and rs.com and had mixed feelings. Perhaps the time is right to look 4wards and not backwar

That's a fair point Humanriff, but it now seems to becoming a problem and none of us wish to see a guy who we have all admired for decades go down the slippery slope and become an embarrassment.I can never get Elvis' final appearances out of my mind because that's what is implanted in your memory. Let's all hope and pray he can get it together and soon. My 2 lads ask me why

There are a number of issues which I feel are worth commenting on: 1. There is a lot of negative comments being thrown around at this moment about the band and the opening gig. We are members of this site because deep down we all have a tremendous amount of love and respect for them. 2. It is unacceptable that, if it is the case that they, or a certain individual in the band, has turned up

Has anyone any knowledge about sales in Spain? - that seems to have gone quiet since the original thread where tickets appeared to start off well then seemed to level out.

If they do continue at the O2 on the 26th then maybe with us being close to the stage we may end up being filmed ourselves and famous for about 10 seconds? LOL

Having seen this clip, Keith is such a natural actor and I can see him taking on more roles in the future. I've got a real feeling that all the main characters in the band have got themselves together and this leg of the tour will amaze many people and convince any doubters, that they are still and always will be the 'Best rock n Roll band of all time".

Travelodges have cut their prices right across the UK. They are very cheap but cheerful hotels and as stated by Andy js, clean and tidy. I have already booked my hotel at the Holiday Inn at Greenwich which is 1/2 mile walking distance from the O2, but for a family room (double bed) on 25th/26th at London City Airport the total cost is £75 for 2 nights. London City Airport is only a few miles

Hi Kennydice, I was also wondering if there will be a meeting point. One place that has been used in the past I believe is Glaciar Bar, which is situated on Placa Reial which is just off Las Ramblas. It is made up of 2 bars and the theme is around Rock, Jazz and Blues music. May be some of our Spanish friends may have so further information?

Mick was apparently at the Cup Final at Wembley yesterday according to the Sunday Times. Maybe he is changing his allegiance from cricket to soccer (sorry football). Now that's a game (cricket) that you guys from the USA would have difficulty warming to - it can last 5 days and quite often there is no winner! LOL

My team is Blackburn Rovers who finished 10th in the Premier League and have qualified for the UEFA Inter-Toto Cup (Sounds romantic!). We also lost to the eventual winners Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final. We won the Premier League in 1994-95 and the Football League Cup in 2002. Benni McCarthy finished the season as 2nd top goalscorer with 18 goals. Favourite players: Morten Gamst Pedersen

I have just received my USP notification of delivery of Barcelona tickets from Ticktacktickets. I live in England so fingers crossed. Some people may say how sad that a 52 year old male gets so excited about a visit from Postman Pat and has decided to work from home today just in case they arrive. A bit like a 7-year old getting up on Xmas day to open his presents - but that's what thi
